Adelaide and Suburban Cricket Association 2011/12

[Bulldogga]

Good to see our A grade don't have to travel much this season with the exception of the last game were we play ramblers, which isn't a worry considering Joans Pantry is near by

[Tubby]

Do you guys want a poll for section 1 on here?

Excuse my ignorance, but a poll for what Lightning? Premiers, Finalists, dancing?

Or, how many Stubbies Moe & Madrooster might consume over the season =

Make sure there is a category titled S%$t Loads!

Either of the first two options that you stated.

How about we start a poll for Grand Finallist's? Can you do that Lightning?

[Madrooster]

I kinda like Tubby's poll idea! Madrooster starting to find a little form again too - might go for a big number - particularly on the Dave Lee match!

[Gowser]

I want to throw something out there.Why is it that in the adelaide suburban cricket association which is a hard wicket cricket competition is there one team that plays on turf?? It just doesnt make sense to me how one team has a turf pitch. I believe there would have to be a hard wicket pitch available for them to use.
I kind of understood when it was Westminster but now with them gone another team moves to the turf deck
.Now before any one thinks im whinging im not I like playing on turf and enjoy it but just dont understand how this has passed through the association does this mean clubs can pull up there hard wicket and lay a turf one if they want????

Yer i dont think it should be allowed simply because it requires specialised equipment (spikes), however i would argue that the Coromandel pitches are not allowed under our current rules.

Most direct stick synthetic wickets are like that for the first few seasons. Way better than roll out mats!

youve got to be kidding... as a batsman i love the coromandel pitches... anything short sits up like a peach! bit of variable bounce keeps the game interesting

[bgrader]

So Keswick let me get this right...
You as a club put the proposal forward for 7 one dayers and 7 two dayers, this get's voted out AGAIN! So as a club you still try to get it in and do this by forming your own division by approaching the association under an "experimental rule" and have two sides in this division in an 8 team competition. Be interesting if they both played each other in a final.
Interested on your thoughts Gowser?

You're surely not going to be that precious. So the two decks have SLIGHTLY more in them than a bit of 5mm roll out mat. If we're all so called 'good' Cricketers in section 1, then you'd think we'd be able to handle a bit of variation!! I personally think that Hewett & the Dene are the two best decks in ASCA as they're challenging for both bowler and batsman!!
In other news, we've picked up 3 players so far this year. Batsman, keeper and all rounder which should add a bit of depth to out squad. News from other clubs?

Jorgensen and ApThomas two of those are they from Westminster?

We are really hoping we landing one big big recruit, a former player who has played in an A grade district premiership in the last couple of years.....Every chance he is coming back to the club which would be a huge recruit for us

Gowser didn't even make an arguement, just a statement so don't waste time responding.

More importantly, have Coro attended to the Kikuyu grass growing under the matting? That's why our pitch was ripped up at the start of last season.

the part where gowser says "i would argue" kinda seems like an argument to me? its a very valid argument which some would agree with and some would disagree with im guessing?

[caleb777]

I reckon gowser should stop whining. the toughest thing about the dene is the long grass and super slow outfield. everyone knows if u bowl short at the dene u end up over the fence, same with hewett. it rewards good accurate bowling and punishes bad bowling. everything a good deck should be!

amen caleb! the worst thing about hewett and the dene is the incredibly sluggish outfields... actually the infields too... which comes down to the council refusing to do anything about our grounds' grass. we have toyed with the idea of an eleven man lawnmower assault job the friday night before games haha

An argument would imply some fact supporting it.

Not on here it doesn't.

I made comment on the rules, nothing about the quality of the surface. If any of you had bothered to check, you would have seen i was wrong and that these pitches are indeed covered by the rules (provided it was approved by the association).

I guess i have reservations about the uncritical adoption of these new rubber filled synthetic pitches that are designed, manufactured and selected for, based on their properties in relation to off-season sports as a priority, where the suitability and effect on cricket playing is a distant second.
